Why was there no security posted on the rooftop from which the would-be assassin of Donald Trump took his shot? Not for any profound reason but because the Secret Service was afraid of its agents falling, according to Director Kimberly Cheatle. "There’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside."

"There’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof.” That’s this year’s biggest lie in a year chock full of them.

A fabulous Fernandez piece. If the shooter had survived he and the SS head could have formed a law firm: Crooks & Cheatle. It’s starting to become enforced on my consciousness that security at the rally had the same planner as for January 6.

I pray often for my country, and fellow countrymen and our leaders, but I confess sometimes my faith falters amid our constant National turmoil. But this incident, I have come to frame as a Heavenly message of assurance: The Almighty is indeed in charge. (lookin' at you Carville.)

I'm thinking back on one of the original duties of the Secret Service. If counterfeiters produced their bogus bills in a warehouse with a sloping floor...they could never be arrested!

I'm with Wretchard. Like certain airliner crashes, it takes a series of unlikely events to leave a modern airliner scattered in shards across the landscape. But, although rare, they happen. But, In this case DEI incompetence and intentional short staffing of Trump's security detail on top of Dem and media hysterical "literally Hitler" hate for five years definitely smoothed the path.

The director sent the junior varsity to guard Trump. Likely as a training exercise for new DEI recruits.

There Were Two Embarrassing Developments
Before Joe Biden Dropped Out

There were two peculiar events before Joe Biden decided to drop out of the 2024 race. The media and donors besieged the president, along with Hill Democrats, leading to the dam breaking during the Republican National Convention. One underreported thing was that the Biden campaign was struggling to raise money; the other part of that disastrous Nevada trip where Biden contracted COVID. He had met with his money man, Jeffrey Katzenberg, about the finances, which wasn’t good. Katzenberg tried to deny it, saying they’ll raise the funds to win, but, when pressed further, redirected all further inquiries to the Biden campaign, which refused to comment.

The United States Secret Service acknowledged it had "limited resources" during briefings held before the July 13 Trump rally in Pennsylvania at which an attempted assassination occurred, according to whistleblower disclosures to the House Judiciary Committee. The admitted lack of necessary resources, according to the whistleblowers, was due to the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., that took place before the rally from July 9 through July 11. "Whistleblowers have disclosed to the Committee that the USSS led two briefings regarding the July 13 campaign rally on July 8, 2024, with the Western Pennsylvania Fusion Center (WPFC) and other stakeholders, to discuss the upcoming, unrelated

Tiger Woods and former president Donald Trump have crossed paths many times, most notably when Trump awarded Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2019. In the wake of an attempted assassination of Trump this past weekend, Woods said he couldn't sleep and didn't arrive in Scotland in the right frame of mind for this week's British Open. "I didn’t accomplish a lot because I wasn’t in the right frame of mind," Woods told the BBC.

A federal grand jury has indicted Sue Mi Terry, a former CIA analyst and senior fellow for Korea studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, on charges that she acted as an agent of influence for the South Korean intelligence service. According to the indictment, Terry was recruited in 2013 and received "handbags, clothing and at least $37,000 in covert payments to the think tank where she was employed." Terry's lawyer says the charges of failure to register as a foreign agent and conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act are poppycock and malarky. “Dr. Terry has not held a security clearance for over a decade,

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is reportedly urging President Joe Biden to end his campaign bid, according to ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl. During an interview on air at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Karl discussed the “intensifying” pressure that has been building against Biden since his poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump in late June. Karl stated that within a private one-on-one meeting Saturday between the Democratic Senate Leader and Biden, Schumer allegedly “made the case” for the president to step aside as the nominee. “I am told that the pressure from Democratic leaders for Biden to get out of the race is intensifying.

As our esteemed President, Joseph Robinette Biden, recently intoned, we should tone down the hateful rhetoric and be about unity. Of course, doing so would overlook his evil and infamous “red light” speech given at Independence Hall (a sacrilege), a speech followed by innumerable comparisons between Trump and both Stalin and Hitler, not to mention the “very fine people” hoax, the bleach hoax, the Russia hoax, and on and on. Biden and his noisome minions are also forever intoning the “Threat to Democracy” mantra. It’s impossible to imagine that this rhetoric did not culminate in the recent event in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Why did Donald Trump select JD Vance? Obviously, their current policy views are simpatico, but JD Vance was not supportive back in 2016. He was pretty harsh about Donald Trump the candidate. You know who else was? Me. Dig back through my columns and you’ll see. I was never a Never Trumper. I was always going to vote for the GOP nominee, and I did vote for the nominee.

I wrote previously about some of the reported interventions of top Democrats like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) with Joe Biden in regard to staying in the race. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) also spoke to Biden one-on-one and urged him to step aside. But the reported word is so far Biden has rebuffed the effort, although it looks like they may have gotten to him a little with him supposedly also asking his people about how Kamala Harris would do if she ran instead. I wonder if they stepped up the effort because of all the reports of his wild interviews and other crazy things he has said.

Your expectations are too high if you thought that getting more details would reveal less blundering by former President Trump's security detail leading to his shooting on Saturday. U.S. Senators, in a phone briefing by FBI Director Chris Wray and Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle, found that Trump's would-be killer, who murdered a man and critically wounded two others, had been under watch by security personnel for more than an hour before he took the lethal shots from a roof outside the hard security perimeter. A reporter for Punchbowl News also reported that senators told him the assassin had been spotted and in the scopes of snipers

Days after an assassin’s bullet came within an estimated centimeter from killing former (and future) President Donald Trump, let’s revisit a “fact check” from USA Today from earlier this year. Alex Soros, son of billionaire Marxist Trump hater George Soros tweeted out a picture of a bullet hole and a hand holding $47 in cash, a not so subtle intimation that Trump, the 45th and would be 47th president, should be shot, a post that given this past weekend’s event should give pause. (X) An article in The Gateway Pundit at the time suggested, and common sense would dictate, that the tweet was a threat against Trump.

President Biden made the historically rare decision Sunday to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, less than four months after being declared the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee and days after a dismal debate showing. The 81-year-old president’s exit from the race – months before Election Day – comes after a debate performance against former President Donald Trump in which the incumbent appeared infirm and was at times incoherent – alarming Democratic donors and strategists. Biden’s withdrawal is expected to set off a free-for-all for the Democratic nomination for president.

Former President Barack Obama didn’t endorse Kamala Harris — saying Democrats would pick an unnamed “outstanding nominee” in his first statement on President Biden stepping aside from the party’s ticket. “We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead,” said Obama, 62. “But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.” Some Democrats fear that Harris, the 59-year-old vice president, could further diminish the party’s chances against former President Donald Trump, 78, in the Nov. 5 election.

For now, I’m taking at face value that Biden has withdrawn from the presidential campaign via a tweeted-out letter, with the promise of a live statement to follow. However, a surprising number of people believe that, considering how consequential Biden’s statement is, a tweeted-out letter suggests a coup rather than a voluntary resignation. More than anything, this reveals how the Biden administration has destroyed all trust in the government. To catch you up on things, Biden put out two separate tweets. The first, at 1:46 p.m. Eastern Time, announced his resignation:

The Treasury Department is warning that state laws that restrict banks from considering environmental, social and governance factors could harm efforts to address money laundering and terrorism financing. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter sent Thursday to lawmakers. The letter singled out a law signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in May that says it would be an “unsafe and unsound practice” for banks to consider non-financial factors when doing business. The letter concludes that “such laws create uncertainty and may inhibit” national security efforts. Conservative Republicans such as DeSantis have sought to block environmental and socially conscious standards for investing,

Can you think of anyone worse than President Joe Biden to run the White House? I can— and that’s twice-failed presidential Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton. An op-ed published by “The Hill” argued that America is desperately “ready for round two” of a Clinton ticket. As Democrats work to push Biden out of the 2024 race, the outlet asks who would be the strongest candidate to challenge former President Donald Trump, suggesting that Clinton is “not just a good one but one of the most qualified people ever to run for office.”

All eyes are on Vice President Kamala Harris after President Biden’s Beltway-shaking decision to drop out of the 2024 race — as speculation runs wild over whom she would tap as a running mate if she snags the nomination. Harris quickly emerged as the front-runner to replace Biden as the Democratic Party’s standard bearer but has not dropped any major hints about whom she’d like to have as a running mate. Given the rushed circumstances of the decision, she will have very little time to vet them and ensure that they’d work well together. (Snip) Here are 10 people she could choose from:

An Obama judge has tossed out a lawsuit by the GOP to ban mail-in ballots in Nevada received up to four days after election day. The challenge to the state’s law passed in 2021, which is designed to allow Democratic organizers to commit fraud and steal elections from Republicans, was dismissed by Obama-appointed Federal District Court Chief Judge Miranda Du as lacking standing. In her 15-page ruling, Du said there was no evidence that the plaintiffs “have suffered, or will likely suffer, an injury” from the rules, which allow Democrats and corrupt election officials to “find” the required number of votes to steal elections in which
